The enhanced for loop (or for-each loop) is a simplified loop structure introduced in Java that allows easy iteration over arrays or collections without explicitly managing an index or iterator.
An array is a data structure that stores a fixed-size sequence of elements of the same type.
Collection: In Java, a collection refers to an object that groups multiple elements together, providing various methods for manipulation and traversal.
